The aim of this study is to examine how movies can be used for young English language learners in Japanese school education. With public elementary schools as the target, teaching materials for English, especially DVDs of movies, are the focus. Teachers currently receive materials based on a supplementary textbook from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Among the materials, CDs are extensively used in classes but only 23.1 percent of teachers report using the DVDs. In this paper, Japanese educational settings will be described to establish an understanding of the English teaching environment. Next, ways of using movies effectively will be investigated and examples of how to conduct classes using specific movies presented. All movies chosen contained children in the same age range of the target students. Movies can be used to teach proper behavior, recall words that students have already learned, deal with moral education and learn classroom English. Teachers can adjust the difficulty of tasks to their students’ language level. Although excellent materials for language classes, finding appropriate movies that match lesson aims remains difficult. To solve this problem, teacher collaboration is necessary to create a list of movies for teaching specific lessons in the elementary school context.
